Ptarmigan is no longer operating in Helsinki.

Ptarmigan existed as a project space in Vallila from 2009-2011 and a mobile curatorial/creative platfom until 2014. We no longer exist as an organised collective, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced as Ptarmigan during these years.

Some of the people who were involved with Ptarmigan are now operating Temporary.

Lauhkeat Lampaat = the brothers Tolvi, Antti and Jaakko, one half of Rauhan Orkesteri, also active in a plethora of explosive sound bubbles (Mohel, Kiila, etc.). They deliver unyielding swells of breath and rhythm, energetic headbutting while handholding, and post-Brown Rice cosmic consciousness. With an upcoming tour of China planned for Antti, we may see two solo pieces tonight, but who knows?
